Steemit Open Mic is an online, live music venue to give musicians a chance to share their music with the Steemit community and get their music heard. It is growing larger every week thanks to all of you.

@Curie helps curate new people who contribute good content and has been supporting Open Mic musicians behind the scenes since Open Mic started. They helped me and countless others get our posts seen when we first started on the platform. Many Open Mic musicians have been featured on their weekly Author's Showcase posts. They are a top 20 witness and have contributed 25 Steem per week for the next two months to help Open Mic. You can vote for them as witness here

@steemcreative is a witness run by @swelker101 and @isaria and they host a weekly program with @krystle at MSP-Waves radio that features the weekly Top 5 judges picks from Steemit Open Mic. Not only do they give weekly prizes to audience picked performers from the contest, but they have also started sponsoring Open Mic with a 25 Steem weekly donation! How cool is that? Thank you for helping support musicians on the Steemit platform. You can vote for them as witness here

Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.

Steemit Open Mic Process

Keeping it short and sweet, here is the flow of considerations for the Steemit Open Mic contest:-

Need to promote community participation in the spirit of Steemit Open Mic night.

So.. Steemit Open Mic submissions in comments, community voting and reblogging are encouraged.

However, we need to avoid public vote abuse and keep a certain standard for Steemit Open Mic night.

So.. community voting as the first filter, before internal voting.

Another problem: late submissions are usually disadvantaged as they get less attention on the contest post.

So.. we've tried to mitigate such a problem by including unique votes of Steemit Open Mic submissions in their own blog posts.

IT IS CRUCIAL WHEN YOU RECORD YOUR VIDEO THAT YOU SAY "STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 129" AND YOUR USERNAME AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR VIDEO

We're looking for real live musical performances for this contest. Some people have posted old videos from YouTube and it's difficult to verify that it's really them performing. They will be disqualified from the contest.

If you want a chance to earn the prize, make a new video and say STEEMIT OPEN MIC Week 129 at the start of it.

IMPORTANT: THE FIRST WORDS IN YOUR POST MUST READ:STEEMIT OPEN MIC WEEK 129 before any other text in the title.

Suggestion: openmicmust be the first tag to enter open mic, but adding other music-related tags (such as music, music-trail) may help your post get more attention and perhaps even get curated by those music curators.

If your song is an original song, add orginalmusic as your 2nd tag. This will help curators know it is an original song which currently pays a Steem bonus to you.
